Connecting Daytime Running Lights via Relay: Handbrake-Off Activation, Wiring Diagram Needed

Question

Hello! I am looking for a diagram on how to connect daytime running lights via a relay, but when the handbrake is on the lights do not turn on, the brake is controlled by a minus as I remember correctly

I was looking for a pattern and I can't find it

Thank you in advance for your help

And good, with the handbrake NO lights have the right to light, the only thing is the indicator. Where and how did you connect it?

And that's why I'm looking for a solution how to hook it up Because now everyone has a lit car and lights on, and I'm looking for a solution that when the brake applied the lights go out

Fredw · Answer

You had to plug it in badly.
On the relay itself, I always did control like this:
+12 on the ignition switch -> rectifier diode (blocked from the reflector side) -> relay -> position cable from one reflector.
Daily connections to the relay control circuit probably need not be explained.

I just don't know how it will work on cars with CAN, because I was installing older / simpler ones.

By the way, maybe write in what car you assemble and how and where what you connect, those more familiar with this model will tell you where the problem may lie.

So yes, this is the Passat B5 before the lift, gasoline ...

Maybe I will try to describe more precisely what I mean, I bought the daytime running lights without the machine, and now I want to connect them through the relay in such a way that if the handbrake is applied and the car with the lights on will not light

and when I release the brake the lights will light up

Unless you can't, I will buy a machine with this function

Is this a bajer supposed to be? I did not read in KD that there were such requirements.
Daytime running lights, led, should be connected to the "battery - from the car" terminal, a fuse with electricity after turning the key and turning the ignition on. An additional 5A fuse can be added.
There are indicators of manual pulling, but due to the low consumption of this light, it is controlled directly from the contactor or actuator - read the diagram of the car and you will find out where and how.

Manius19888 · Answer

Maybe someone will come up with something Because probably the relays can handle this

Fredw · Answer

It is neither useful nor helpful, and may even expose us to the ticket if we find a celestial servant.
And the first one I hear is that there is a daytime machine in general that performs the function of shutting off after manual puffing :roll:

Manius19888 · Answer

It's not about the fact that when I pull the hand lights go out, but that when I start the car e.g. in the morning and the hand brake is applied, the daytime running lights do not turn on

Heinzek · Answer

In newer from the VW group this can be set in the central electrics module. You need to combine it into something like this: And it will work in German.

jdubowski · Answer

And as you stop at the traffic lights in the fall. long, manual cycle you take the lights will go out? Some crap ... There are none, just the reverse, the ignition key is to light the lights. Why such a goodie? It can't be solved, the easiest way is the thyristor from the ground, and you give the signal through the resistor from the cable of the hand brake control.

Manius19888 · Answer

Schemacik?

Freddy · Answer

Only with DC the thyristor will open permanently until the voltage between the anode and cathode is removed

Fredw · Answer

Yes it is, that sometimes man has an eclipse. This is what I meant that manual should not affect the exterior lights.

Heinzek · Answer

In the controller for central electrics in e.g. golf 5 and similar, you have the option of activating daytime running lights. There are two options: 1. Scandinavian - the passing beam + rear positions are on. 2. North America - Only the passing lights from the front are on. When the handbrake is applied, they go out. In addition, they can be replaced with position or fog lamps and dimmed.

Freddy · Answer

We are in Poland and we are bound by Polish regulations if someone forgot

Heinzek · Answer

Nobody forgets. I just wanted to say that DRL quenching is not just the author's invention.
In my opinion, DRL quenching is ok, why should they burn when the car is not moving?
Don't say that every "light" you pull is manual.

mczapski · Answer

Interesting issue. The author of the question probably bought DRL LEDs to minimize energy consumption. According to our law, it is forbidden to leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time (probably 1 minute). So why are such unprofitable inventions minimal energy gain? And when it comes to the durability of the lights themselves, there will also be no gain. And another serious doubt whether the car before traffic lights or in a traffic jam on a hill with the auxiliary brake applied is soon or not.
